True...and explains a lot. :) Here are the bookcases I made today. The one on the left is the second one I did. The one on the right is the first one I did. HUGE difference! I don't think I did anything differently, but they look like one was made by and a adult and one was made by a preschooler.

Suppose it's, er, rustic. Either way, I now have a workable book shelf. I also have the backdrops for each of the scenes, the set pieces for most of the scenes, and now I only have a few props left. I was going to do some test shots, but as I am on a roll I will finish with the sets and props then I will start doing test shoots. Now that I have been successful at a bookcase I am feeling more accomplished. That failure was really making me doubt I could pull this off. At least I have a few months to get it all done.

So next....

Then I mean to set up each of the sets and take a picture of each to see how they look in front of the camera. Will post pictures when I have them.
